A little known sci-fi movie made its debut on May 25th, 1977; maybe you heard of it? Now, 30 years later, “Star Wars” reaches across the globe with movies, media, marketing, and modern mythos galore, and–to celebrate–LucasArts announces the combination of two entertaining “Star Wars” game titles into one complete saga.

Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga compiles the adventures of Lego Star Wars and Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy into one game. Players can now enjoy all 6 movie titles with the entertaining Lego twist of George Lucas' epic tale of a hero's journey.

LucasArts has some upgrades in-store, too, for those of you new or familiar to Lego Star Wars. There will be new and revamped game levels, enhanced Force powers, and new power-ups in addition to new playable characters such as Watto, Zam Wessell, and Boss Nass. Some platforms will also feature online two-player co-op modes.

Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga will be available this fall for the Nintendo DS, Playstation 3, Wii, and Xbox 360. May the force and the brick be with you.

No PC version?(12:10pm EST Tue May 29 2007)That stinks. I bought both of the LSW games and think they're great. My kids (5, 6 and 12) play it all the time. Unfortunately, my 5-year-old ruined the CD for the original LSW, so we weren't able to play a merged version.

I don't have a console. (Frankly, I've never felt the need to shell out over $300 to duplicate *some* of the functionality of the 3 PCs we already own.) This would have been a great birthday present for my son. - by Jarink

I know!(12:43pm EST Tue May 29 2007)It sucks that they will not release it for any of the previous consoles either. I'm not planning on buying any more game systems, they are just getting too expensive. - by MasterZ

That's pretty funny… the last time I looked, it costs a lot more money to buy/upgrade a computer with the latest video card in order to play the newest games! - by Jeremy

Jeremy(2:50pm EST Tue May 29 2007)Last time I looked it was more expensive to buy both then it was to just buy a computer unless they've started some bundling that I'm unaware of.

Most of us need a computer in the house and a graphics card upgrade to play the latest games and still have a semi-decent frame rate can cost as little as a $100. Closest new game console is over $250 and that's just for what some consider an upgraded GameCube and not necessarily part of the new consoles (at least as far as the graphics are concerned)…

Re:Jeremy(3:09pm EST Tue May 29 2007)Comparing a PC with a console is an unfair comparision, at best, and dishonest at worst.

How many financial, programming languages, office suite or tax programs can a console run? Can you purchase on-line with a console?

A PC is a workhorse, doing my family's taxes, LabVIEW programming, C++ programming, Orcad as well as geneology work. I use my PC to balance my checkbook, monitor my stocks, purchase equipment, inventory my DVD collection (kudos to DVDProfiler), as well as play games.

Spending $250~ every 3 years to keep my rig somewhat current is spread across the benefits from numerous programs (but most importantly my games – I will be honest on this).

However, I can re-cycle 100% of my older games at higher resolutions with all the eye candy turned on.

A console simply runs a few games, then after 5 years you throw out the old console and drop another $300+ for a new console and then buy new games at $50+ each.

I fail to see the appeal in consoles. - by Hodar

Appeal of Consoles(11:33pm EST Tue May 29 2007)FWIW, I agree. However, consoles can provide a quick fix from the comfort of a lounge chair. And, in the past, they did have fewer support issues than PCs. However, in these days of automatic updates from the web, software and driver conflicts should be virtually non-existent even on the dumbest user's PC. - by Moose
